His interpretation of Kokabiel was a very good concept, imo.Quote:Deadpan29 wrote:Admittedly, Sasuke is Kishimoto's Gary-Stu-Self-Insert-Wank-Gasm - he's even gone on record implying as much. All the girls want Sasuke, he has a power that everyone wants, and acts like no one is even worthy of licking the dirt off his boots because he's just that much better than everyone else.
He comes up with some marvelous action comedy, and some interesting character reinterpretations. He obviously loves the ideas that go into the settings, but his works are also laced with contempt towards what the author did with the ideas and towards the main characters (or at least the direction the main characters developed in) to the point that they are borderline hate-fics at times.
Naruto himself, as a character, is really an afterthought.
Fun mental exercise: give Naruto the 'Garfield Without Garfield' treatment, only do one pass-through without Naruto, and then another without Sasuke instead. Which version is better?
